Description
The majority of Lake Minnetonka is in Hennepin County, with a small portion of its southwest edge crossing into Carver County, Minnesota. Maritime Heritage Minnesota (MHM) received a Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grant - part of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment - in May 2012 to conduct a side and down imaging sonar survey of Upper Lake Minnetonka - not including Crystal Bay that had already by surveyed. This project is the second of two projects to survey Lake Minnetonka for submerged cultural resources. Along with MHM's Lake Minnetonka Survey 1 Project, this project has located new wrecks in Lake Minnetonka and several anomalies that may be wrecks and other human-made objects. With the conclusion of this project, Lake Minnetonka is the only body of water in Minnesota that has been completely surveyed archaeologically.
